The
Scilio family welcomes you to
the Agriturismo Valle Galfina, open all the year round
offering a unique farm holiday
in Sicily. Ideal for week end
accomodation, you can appreciate the
extraordinary unspoilt
environment of Europe’s most
famous volcano, “the Etna”.
The peculiar
climatic conditions of the area,
the volcanic soil and a low
yield per vine are essential for
the production of Etna’s famous
wines. For the last four
generations the Scilio family
have continued to cultivate
passionately the 28 hectare
estate combining together the
typical traditions of Sicilian
vine cultivation (wine making)
and modern technology .

|
The farmhouse and cellars
date back to 1815 and are
surrounded by the organically
cultivated vineyards, where for
centuries the traditions of
winemaking have been handed down
from generation to generation.
Visitors to the estate are most
welcome to a guided tour of the
vineyards, cellars and wine
tasting.
The
Scilio wine estate
lies on the north eastern side
of Mount Etna, at approx 650 mt asl, within the
ETNA DOC appellation
zone, in one of Sicily's most
beautiful areas. |
